Senior Spotlight | KELSEY
As a Cincinnati Senior Photographer, I was able to take this stunning red head to a beautiful park in Cincinnati to have a morning full of laughs, smiles and some killer camera stare-downs. Kelsey is an amazingly bright and bubbly young lady with a huge future ahead of her. Check out this downtown Cincinnati session featuring the Roebling Bridge, beautiful flowers, stop lights, murals and just the sheer beauty of this city and this girl.
Not only is Kelsey attending the advanced Covington Latin School, but she finds time to be involved as well. When not doing homework, she plays volleyball and softball. Along with two varsity sports, she is a member of the CLS Debate Team, National Honors Society, Junior Classical League, Newspaper Club and even plays the Saxophone!!
Outside of school she likes to read, write, run, shop (of course), do some logic puzzles and walk her dog. I wish Kelsey the best of luck in her last year of High School. There is no doubt that her future is as bright as her beautiful red locks!!

We recognised a growing trend that, in general, people want to modify products to make them unique to their own needs and desires. They aspire to be more creative, individual and free in the choices they make. A growing number of 'ordinary consumers' will no longer be satisfied with existing IKEA solutions, but rather want to create their own kitchens.
IKEA Hacka is a system intended to bridge the gap between the hacking movement and the current modular kitchen systems. It consists of wooden beams that can be cut to any length, as well as a variety of joints that can be used in a number of ways to piece together the beams. These parts make it easier to modify a kitchen, combining items from IKEA with third-party and/or self-made products.

About The Bridge on the River Kwai and Death Railway, Kanchanaburi.
Kanchanaburi city is 125 kilometers North West of Bangkok on the River Kwai, this is where the famous Bridge on the River Kwai was built to carry the infamous Death Railway across the river. This bridge has become one of the world's most famous World War 2 historical tourist destinations.
The Thai-Burma Railway, or Death Railway, was a 400 km (250 mile) railway from Bangkok to Rangoon in Burma, it was built by the Japanese in 1943 during World War 2, to supply the troops in the Burma campaign. About 60,000 Allied prisoners of war (POWs) worked on the railway, of these 16,000 died working on the railway.
The first temporary wooden Bridge over the River Kwai was finished in February 1943, followed by a concrete and steel bridge in June 1943. The Allies bombed the bridges many times but only damaged them at first, but in May 1945 they managed to destroy the wooden bridge and breached the steel and concrete bridge in the centre. In 1946 when the war had finished two rectangular central sections were shipped from Japan to repair the bridge, and donated to Thailand. The arched sections are original.
After the war the railway needed heavy reconstruction, by 1958 the line had been rebuilt up to Nam Tok which is where it finishes today.
Tiger Temple, Kanchanaburi, (approx 35 kilometers from River Kwai Bridge)
In 1999, the first tiger cub was given to the temple, it had been found by local villagers apparently abandoned by its mother, over time several other tiger cubs were donated if their mothers had been killed by poachers or people's tiger pets grew too large. The tigers are caged for most of the day, being walked between 12 noon and 4pm, they are fed on cooked chicken and dry food so they do not acquire a taste for raw meat.
Local and international volunteers and temple monks look after the tigers. Originally, the tigers could roam free in the temple grounds, but with the increase in visitors, they are now leashed or chained. Visitors can stroke, sit with and pet the tigers. The temple charges an entry fee of 600 baht to help the funding of a larger sanctuary; there are about 600 visitors per day come to the temple. Opening hours are from 12 noon to 4:30pm every day.

I found the service spot-on, e-mail confirmation, greeting at the airport and very reasonable price – Excellent service that I wouldn't hesitate to use again.
The service was superb. The car was nice and the driver very friendly and professional. Would definitely use again.
The transport process was excellent. The driver was on time, made contact with us easily and transferred us to the hotel with comfort and helpfulness. The car was very comfortable and I would recommend your services to others.
The airport transfer service was excellent! We were met on time by a friendly driver and taken to our destination in good time. The price was very fair and the cab was most comfortable. Thank you!
The service we received was great, our driver was both friendly and honest and helped us with different questions we had. We would certainly use this service again when we return for another great stay in Thailand.
It has been a pleasure using your company and I will give you my recommendations when I have friends coming to Thailand.
Just a short note to thank your company on its professionalism. Your drivers are prompt and made us feel very welcomed. This was the 2nd time I have used your company and have no hesitation in recommending you to friends, in fact I will be back in October and will use your services again.
My husband & I just wanted to let you know what a pleasure it was dealing with your Company, on our recent visit to Bangkok – which covered 4 pre arranged taxi collections from Airport to Hotel. Not only was the service fantastic, our driver was always very punctual waiting at the appointed place either Airport or Hotel at the correct time (if not earlier) – he always had the most beaming smile which was a lovely way to be greeted! This did include him having a good laugh at our expense, when he collected us at the Airport following a couple of days in the sun at Krabi when he saw how burnt we were! Unfortunately I not know his name, but hopefully you can check your records as we would very much like you to thank him personally for contributing to a memorable 1st trip to Thailand. As we commented after we left Thailand to travel onto China it was such a delight having such a lovely friendly driver and we cannot thank you enough. So much so that the service you provided has encouraged us to plan a visit Thailand again, and without doubt we will be using the services of your Company, Thank you both for the very professional service and equally important thank you for providing excellent drivers who are a delight to deal with, and who leave you with smile and very happy memories of an excellent trip. Kind regards. Jill White.
Your guy was excellent and very professional. I actually would like to use your services again in about 3 weeks.
Thanks for the smooth arrangements, and in particular for the pre-arrival e-mail communication and advice in the light of the red shirt protests. The Chatrium hotel which you recommended we should change to was out of this world and more than made up for our inability to go to the city centre. As suggested, river transport enabled us to see as much as we needed to. Your driver was waiting for us upon arrival and transported us efficiently to the hotel. He picked us up as arranged later in the week for a memorable visit to the Kwai bridge and Tiger Temple, producing scented towels and cold water from a cool-box filled with ice in the boot of the car – most welcome after a few hours in the sun with the tigers! He was early and waiting for us on check-out and once again a smooth journey to the airport was accomplished. With prices lower than any competitor I could find (and not much more than taxi fare!), and hassle-free service I would recommend BAT to any other visitor to Bangkok.

When canoeing together, my husband occasionally stands in the boat…which causes me great discomfort. I don't enjoy the threat of being flipped into the river…which has happened more than once!
Standing can be dangerous…especially when it involves someone you love.
I recently interviewed two sisters on their opposite stands, regarding the homosexual practice of their brother. Both agreed that their brother's choice had greatly damaged the potential richness of his life…causing him to suffer physically, emotionally, and spiritually. They both declare their love for their youngest sibling…while disagreeing strongly on the "stand of love."
One stands on a love that "accepts" the habitual sin. A "non-judgemental" position…keeping the lines of communication open.
The other stands on a love that "rejects" the habitual sin. A position that has resulted in closing the lines of communication…relying on God's conviction for a change of heart.
The one who has chosen to live in homosexual perversion has a stand also. He/She rejects the one who rejects his sin!
Forty years have passed since my mother lovingly told her little brother that his choice to live as a woman would destroy his life…and their relationship.
One "love-stand" cost nothing…the other cost everything!
One is worth nothing, and the other…everything!
"The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. Certain persons, by swerving from these, have wandered away into vain discussion, desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions." (1 Timothy 1:5-7/ESV)
The purpose of this blog is to encourage Christ-followers to see God's Big Picture and be a part of it!

arrow tracks
I had fun yesterday night doing light painting again. This time I wanted more light shapes than I usually use, so I created 2 new light sources. One is made from a neon tube that you can get in home decoration shops, and the other is a cardboard made arrow mounted on my flash. The results are quite interesting. It's of course quite abstract again but I really like the graphical aspect brought by the arrows in this series of photo.

That looks very interesting. I looked at the materials at the website you mentioned, as I was thinking they might be good for my little boys, but the price was a bit too high for me. I do enjoy seeing your language work, though.ReplyDelete
I totally understand what you mean about the prices. Since I hope to use these materials with a lot of children in the years to come it was worth it to me. Montessori Printshop has a nice price for the printable version. Thank you for leaving a comment and for participating in the Linky.ReplyDelete
Looks fun! I just linked up too :)ReplyDelete
It is so wonderful to see this work in action!! Thank you for sharing such detailed information:))ReplyDelete
Your kids' grammar work is awesome! I'm so glad you share it with Montessori Monday! I featured your post at the Living Montessori Now Facebook page and pinned it to my Montessori Elementary Activities and Ideas Board at http://pinterest.com/debchitwood/montessori-elementary-activities-and-ideas/ReplyDelete

Services Provided By CS IT
The CS IT Support Group offers a variety of I.T. services to its customers (CS Faculty, students, staff, etc.)
Our goal is to provide friendly, helpful IT support in a timely manner. We are very customer-oriented and strive for keeping our users informed and up-to-date with the status of support requests and the status of our CS computing infrastructure as a whole.
We provide a documentation wiki we call the CS IT Support Wiki at https://support.cs.jhu.edu with extensive details on the many services we provide. (The page you're reading now is a part of the CS IT Support Wiki.)
We are available via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
For general user support, we are available M-F 8:30am - 5pm.
As the CS IT group resides in Malone Hall, most of our support and services are directed there.
Our CS IT Support services can be broken down into three categories:
Below is a comprehensive list of the services that the CS IT Support Group provides to our users. You can find more specific details about these services within the categories found in our aforementioned CS IT Support Wiki. If you have additional questions, please email us at our support address.
Computer Systems We Manage/Maintain/Support
We maintain...
- All of the Fedora Linux-based computer systems located in our CS Teaching Computer Labs, as well as our department's main compute servers.
- CS Office staff (MH 160) computer systems.
- Centralized servers providing CS online services.
CS IT does not offer direct support for individual's or research lab computer systems (laptops, desktops, servers, tablets, smartphones, network equipment, etc.)
CS Faculty and researchers and their students typically self-maintain their own systems. (This includes server room rack setup and server installs.)
If you're having an issue with your own system, or need to configure your own system, we might be able to offer you advice, but, for any support work to be done on them, you may want to consider contacting JHU's IT Help Desk at 410-516-HELP or submit a JHU IT Service Request. Optionally, you might be able to have WSE's (Whiting School of Engineering) IT group look at your system. They can be reached at email@example.com
Additionally, CS IT does not purchase, spec, or price out computer-related equipment for other than the CS Office Staff systems, the CS Teaching Computer Labs, and for CS central infrastructure support.
CS Online Services
CS IT provides the following online services to CS-affiliated users.
- CS Linux Shell Login Accounts: We can provide you a Linux shell login account for our CS Lab clients and compute servers. This provides a user a home directory on our servers. A CS Linux account provides you a CS email address and webpage space. We maintain backups of home directories.
- CS Email Services: CS runs its own email services and can provide you with a CS email address, if requested. (A CS Linux shell login account automatically provides you a CS email address. You can choose to forward CS email to your preferred email address.) For receiving CS mail, we provide both IMAP and POP services. We also make a available a web interface for CS email access we call webmail. CS also provides mailing list services. Additionally, we filter our emails in a variety of ways to combat spam. All email stored on our email servers is backed up regularly.
- NOTE: CS IT does not maintain JHU Exchange email service. If you have issues with JHU Exchange email (or calendar), please open a trouble ticket by calling 410-516-HELP
- CS-based DNS Service: We can set up hostnames in the cs.jhu.edu domain for your CS-affiliated system.
- CS-Web Services: We provide space (via a linux shell login) and instructions for creating webpages accessible through our CS webservers.
- MySQL Database Service: CS hosts its own MySQL database service and can provide you a database for you to design and maintain. Our databases are backed up regularly.
- Virtual Machine Services (VMs): CS hosts a Virtual Machine server for coursework and light research. CS faculty, instructors, and students may request a VM be created for CS class use and CS-related school projects. A created VM is then configured and maintained by the requestor. VMs are not centrally backed up.
- Please remember that other than for the CS office staff's systems, the CS Teaching Lab computer systems, and the CS infrastructure servers, CS IT does not provide direct support (repairs/configuration/troubleshooting/etc.) for other people's/labs' computers.
Malone Hall contains several different networks used by different groups within the building. Three of these are networks available for CS user access.
CS IT provides:
- Network jack-activation for CS-related offices, including initial troubleshooting of the actual network port.
- Static or dynamic IPs. Note: We do not configure an individual's or research lab's computers' network configuration. Due to the differences in network configurations amongst the variety of operating systems that exist now, we merely provide you the IPs and related information with general CS Networking documentation.
- We can provide you a network cable, if needed.
- We do not manage Wifi in Malone Hall. For Wifi, please see Wireless Networking.
- CS does not have its own perimeter firewall, however, JHU does. For firewall issues, please see Requesting Open Ports on the JHU Firewall.
- We provide access to the CS IT-Managed printers located on each floor of Malone Hall, in addition to the department's copier in Malone Hall 154.
- We also change toner in the CS IT-managed printers when necessary.
- Our CS Grad and Ugrad Teaching Computer Labs' Linux systems are configured to print to the printer residing in each lab.
- The CS IT group does not supply or change paper in the printers we manage. Users can obtain paper from the CS Admin Office, Malone 160.
- Our CS IT-managed printers are currently available to anyone to print to from your own system on the CS (and some JHU) networks. However, the CS IT group does not configure user-owned or research labs-owned computers to print to our printers.
Additional Infrastructure Notes
- Audio/Visual (including conference room and office A/V) services and support in Malone Hall are handled by other groups within JHU. Please see: Audio-Visual.
- Power or HVAC-related issues in a room or office are handled by JHU Facilities.

I personally would prefer that 1960 schedule as that would allow a same day 19-1 or 59-1 transfer at NOL and the westbound train would serve SAS and LAX at way better hours (although I doubt arriving into LAX at 5:05pm is ever going to happen) although eastbound the train got into SAS at 4:30am and for any train to be able to connect in NOL with the current 20 it would have to arrive in NOL before 7am.
I also like the idea of a through branch going from DAL/FTW-ELP and travel between DAL/FTW-LAX would be way way better than it is today. Plus the route between DAL and ELP back then was 645.3 miles, 13:35 hrs where today via SAS is 919 miles, about 20.5 hours, not counting the layover in SAS. They must have had some shortcut. I had proposed breaking the SL and TE and run through cars from DAL-SAS connecting with the SL. If you can have through cars DAL-ELP to the SL that would be even better for DAL to get to LAX.
Of course the #1 reason this schedule was better.... PHOENIX!
I personally don't care much for the SL-CS connection, I'd rather have the Crescent-SL connection (although of course I'm biased). (Dream Sequence): This SL westbound schedule with the Dallas branch and a resurrected Spirit of California. That way you can still go from Texas/Arizona to the Bay Area with a same day transfer and you'd have the overnight SF Area/LA Area train again.

School has started up again and the thing I dread most in the back to school process is buying the school supplies. Three kids, three different class lists and you can't just get any notebook. No, it has to be Mead, wide ruled and a weird size that no one really ever paid attention to before. Oh, I miss the olden days when spiral notebooks came only in one size and there was only Elmer's white glue and no such thing as glue sticks. Don't even get me started on the fact that I have to also provide a gallon size bottle of hand sanitizer or boxes of tissues. (Where does our tax dollars go?) Okay, I protest too much but seriously these are things my home schooling friends don't have to deal with.
My oldest is going into 8th grade and I can't believe it. Time goes by fast. Our decision to not home school or to not send our kids to private school has been right for us. It hasn't always been easy but I feel we made the right choice. I could go on about the pros and cons of why we made our decision but that would bore you and me. All I know is that I am more convinced every day that education begins at home. I am proud of friends who have chosen to home school and stick with it. I am glad we have private institutions that also educate children and choices we can make. If there is one thing I have learned about education it is that one size does not fit all. I also am more convinced that our children learn the most by the example we lead and the advice we give them.
I might not teach my children all of the content areas at home but their Dad and I strive to teach them how to react to the information they are given. I love that my 8th grader has challenged her science class about evolution or recognizes that teacher who goes out of his or her way to talk about creation in a subtle but honest manner. I am proud of my second grader who draws a picture of the cross during Easter time. I am happy to have family discussions around the dinner table about how taking God out of our history lessons deletes so much American history that cannot be denied. I laugh when my 6th grader says ever so logically, "So first we are told that everything comes from something (matter) and then all of a sudden the world came out of nothing. That makes perfect sense to me." (I love her sarcasm.) They are getting an education from public schools but we are working ever so hard to give them the Christian viewpoint.
I support all school choices. I even get many of my preschool teaching ideas from some awesome home school teachers. I am in awe of how homeschooling has grown and I will be one of the first people to fight for home schoolers if their choice is ever taken away. However, I do hope home school families don't neglect the Christians who have decided to send their kids to public schools. We need your support too. We believe education begins at home as well. The only difference is our kids go somewhere during the day and then we reflect and mold what they have learned at night.
I love that God gives us freedom in our lives to make choices and when we align them with His will, they turn out for the good. Public school has been that for my family. I have to be a pro-active parent but my children are learning some valuable lessons of living a Christian life in a secular world. There are some negatives and positives but I know God has been in our prayerful decision we made about 9 years ago. Education does begin at home but sometimes it branches out but the root of it will always be at home and with your family!

A family trust is a financial settlement, meant to hand over control of your assets to your loved ones. When people begin creating a family trust, they usually ask if this means that they are giving up access to their estate. There are many types of family trusts, and it is important to tailor access based on your specific needs. The Law Office of Rosemary Paglia will help you in setting up a family trust that gives you control over the assets for many years to come while meeting your family protection goals.

The gas density animation shows that large-scale structure emerges as intersecting filaments. These filaments represent sheets of galaxies spanning upwards of 100 million light years end-to-end. Galaxies cluster at the intersections that range in length from 1-10 million light years.
In the gas temperature movie, red regions indicate the hottest gas. Accumulating at the intersections of the filaments, this gas is thought to emit high-energy radiation, especially X-rays, making it possible for the first time to compare the simulated results with actual observations of galaxy clusters.
The third movie shows a the evolution of gas density in a simulation which incorporate both "hot" and "cold" dark matter (i.e. "mixed dark matter") and which was performed at a considerably higher resolution (513^3 zones).

Over in homophobic Uganda, one of the country's most feared gay haters in government, Rebecca Kadaga, the Speaker of Uganda's Parliament, this week proved once again exactly how ignorant the poor woman is.
In a speech where she urged the country's youth to become "ground fighters" in the national battle against homosexuality she claimed that "the Canadian court has legalised sex with dogs in addition to homosexuality."
Rebecca Kadaga made the comments at a party hosted by local youth leaders to congratulate her on her reelection to Parliament last February.
In her speech she also said that she has proof that foreign NGOs working in Uganda are recruiting children into homosexuality.
AllAfrica Reports:
Ms Kadaga said the youth are soft targets for homosexuals and pro-gay lobbyists from the Western world using scholarships and donor organisations to spread the vice and lure young people into it.
"We must stand against homosexuality and I enlist you as ground fighters against the vice among your fellow youth. Secure them from the vice with a vibrant programme," Ms Kadaga said and warned the youth against being used as conduits…
She said there is credible information that some NGOs are recruiting children into homosexuality in Kamuli, asking security organs to investigate the issue and take appropriate action.
"It is disheartening that the social media reported that the Canadian court has legalised sex with dogs in addition to homosexuality. So security, act on these organisations luring innocent kids or we hold you as accomplices to the vice," Ms Kadaga said.

Best Unsecured Personal Loans for 2018
Most personal loans are typically unsecured unless you have limited or poor credit history. Borrowers with poor credit may have a harder time finding an unsecured loan, but there are options that don't require collateral. If your credit is fair or better, you shouldn't have issues finding a great unsecured loan. So to help you find the best unsecured personal loan, we evaluated over 50 different lenders and listed our top picks below.
Avant, Cosigned Loan
Best for Bad Credit (Under 630)
LendingClub, Upstart, Best Egg
Best for Average Credit (630 to 679)
SoFi, Citizens Bank, Earnest
Best for Good Credit (680 and Above)
Our Methodology
Read our methodology
Best Unsecured Loans for Bad Credit (Under 630)
If you have poor credit, you will face more difficulty finding an unsecured personal loan. We've listed a good lender option and strategy. If none of these work, you may need to consider putting up collateral or adding a co-signer to qualify.
Most borrowers at Avant have credit scores between 600 and 700, so this lender can be a good option if you have a credit score under 650. Avant offers unsecured personal loans up to $35,000 with APRs between 9.95% and 36% and terms of two to five years. One nice thing about Avant is the lender's repayment flexibility. You can change your due date and amount of your payments online up to one day before they are due. The lender also offers late fee forgiveness, returning the $25 late fee if you make three consecutive on-time payments after the late payment.
Because Avant lends to borrowers with fair to average credit, rates are a little higher than what you see with other online lenders. However, the maximum rate is still much lower than what you'd see with a no-credit-check or payday loan. These types of loans regularly have rates topping 100%, 200% or 300%, whereas the maximum rate at Avant is 36%. Avant is available in all states except Iowa, Colorado and West Virginia.
Best for: Borrowers with credit scores between 600 to 650 who may have had trouble qualifying elsewhere.
- Loan amount: $2,000 - $35,000
- Loan term: 2 to 5 years
- 1+ days to get funds
- Origination fee: 0.95% - 4.75%
Cosigned Personal Loan
For borrowers with poor credit dead set on getting an unsecured personal loan, consider finding a cosigner. If you have a credit score below 600, most lenders will want you to put up collateral to secure a personal loan. In general, this is because borrowers with lower credit scores are more likely to make late payments, miss payments or default. One way to avoid this is to get a cosigner with good credit to apply for the loan with you. The lender will evaluate the cosigner's credit history when making a loan decision.
One major downside of having a cosigner is that you are risking someone else's credit and money. Because the lender considers the cosigner's credit history in the loan decision, your cosigner is ultimately responsible for paying back the loan if you can't. In addition, if you make payments late or miss a payment altogether, your cosigner's credit score may take a hit. Before you pursue this option, you should carefully think about your ability to repay and discuss all options with your potential cosigner.
Best for: Borrowers with credit scores under 600 who cannot afford to put up collateral.
- APR: up to 36%
- Loan amount: $1,000 - $50,000
- Loan terms: 1 to 7 years
- Recommended credit score: N/A
- Days to get funds: 1 - 7
Best Unsecured Loans for Average Credit (630 to 680)
Credit scores between 630 and 680 are typically considered fair to average. If you're in this category, rest assured as there are many online lenders that offer good unsecured personal loans to borrowers with fair credit.
While the average LendingClub borrower has a credit score of 700, you can still qualify at this lender even if your credit score isn't that high. In general, we recommend that you have at least fair credit, several years of credit history and a reasonable debt-to-income ratio to apply for a LendingClub loan. Unlike other lenders that offer loans to borrowers with average credit, LendingClub has a better range of rates from 5.99% to 35.89%, with the average rate around 14%. You can borrow up to $40,000 for three or five year terms.
One downside to using LendingClub is that because the lender offer peer-to-peer loans, it can take up to seven days or more to fund your loan offer. However, you can use a LendingClub personal loan for virtually any purpose except postsecondary educational expenses and investing. So if you want to start a business, remodel your home or pay for medical expenses, you can use a LendingClub loan.
Best for: Borrowers with credit scores of at least 640 who can afford to wait for funds.
- Loan amount: $1,000 - $40,000
- Loan term: 3 or 5 years
- 6 days on average or sooner to get funds
- Origination fee: 1% - 6%
For borrowers with credit scores between 620 and 680, Upstart can be a great choice for an unsecured personal loan. You can apply for up to $50,000 through Upstart, with rates between 6.37% and 29.99%. The average rate on a three-year Upstart loan is around 17%, which is comparable to average rates at other online lenders. Upstart will also look at factors besides your credit score when approving you -- factors such as your educational and work history and the length of your credit history. If you have a postsecondary degree and a stable job, you may be able to get approved for a better rate even if your credit score isn't perfect.
If you're planning on taking a coding or development bootcamp, Upstart works directly with 17 major bootcamps, including Dev Bootcamp, Fullstack Academy and Hackbright Academy. Upstart will even relax some of its eligibility criteria for applicants accepted into one of these programs. Upstart is available in all states except West Virginia.
Best for: Borrowers with fair to average credit, or borrowers looking to finance a coding bootcamp.
- Loan amount: $1,000 - $50,000
- Loan term: 3 or 5 years
- 1+ days to get funds
- Origination fee: 1% - 6%
Best Egg
Best Egg is another good option if you don't have an excellent credit score. To qualify for a loan at Best Egg, we recommend that borrowers have credit scores of at least 640 and decent annual income. If you want to qualify for the best rate at Best Egg, which is 5.99%, the lender states you'll need a credit score of 700 and annual income of $100,000, meaning that borrowers with lower income or credit scores will still be able to qualify for a loan.
You can borrow up to $35,000 through Best Egg with rates up to 29.99% and terms of three or five years (borrowers with annual incomes of $150,000 or more can borrow up to $50,000). The average APR on a Best Egg loan is around 15%. There are origination fees and late fees attached to each loan, but no prepayment penalties. Like many other lenders in this space, you can receive funds within one day.
Best for: Borrowers with high annual incomes and credit scores of at least 640.
- Loan amount: $2,000 - $35,000 (up to $50,000 for qualified borrowers)
- Loan term: 3 or 5 years
- 1+ days to get funds
- Origination fee: 0.99% - 5.99%
Best Unsecured Personal Loans for Good Credit (680 and Above)
If you have a credit score of at least 680 and solid credit history, you shouldn't have any major issues getting an unsecured personal loan.
There are lots of reasons to like SoFi: competitive interest rates, large loan amounts, flexible terms and unemployment protection. Through SoFi, you can borrow between $5,000 to $100,000 for all types of purposes, including debt consolidation, home improvement, relocation or wedding expenses. One thing you cannot use a SoFi personal loan for is educational expenses. Rates at SoFi are very competitive between 5.7% and 14.24%, so you'll need to have good to excellent credit to qualify. We recommend that you have a credit score of at least 680 to apply at SoFi.
Another thing we like about SoFi is the unemployment protection and career development services. If you lose your job through no fault of your own, SoFi will defer your monthly payments and even help you find another job. Even if you don't lose your job, you can still use the lender's career coaching and development services. The lender also hosts networking and social events for its borrowers. SoFi is available in all states except Mississippi and Nevada.
Best for: Borrowers with good to excellent credit who may want to borrow more than $30,000.
- APR: 5.81% - 16.25% with AutoPay (variable rates also available)
- Loan amount: $5,000 - $100,000
- Loan term: 3, 5 or 7 years
- 3+ days to get funds
- Origination fee: None
Citizens Bank
You don't even need to be a member of Citizens Bank to get a great deal on an unsecured personal loan. To qualify for a Citizens Bank personal loan, you'll need to have strong credit (so any credit score above 680) and at least $24,000 in annual income. You can borrow between $5,000 and $50,000 with rates typically between 5.99% and 16.25%. One benefit of using Citizens Bank is that the lender offers a great deal of repayment flexibility: terms range from three to seven years and you can choose either a fixed or variable interest rate. There are also no origination fees, prepayment penalties or application fees.
Unlike other banks, Citizens Bank does not require a branch visit or an existing account to complete your loan application. You can also check your rate online without affecting your credit score (many banks will require you to agree to a hard credit pull to get a loan offer). Rates at Citizens Bank are also similar to, and in some cases, better than rates offered by other banks and online lenders.
Best for: Borrowers with good to excellent credit and at least $25,000 in annual income.
- APR: 5.99% - 18.99% with AutoPay
- Loan amount: $5,000 - $50,000
- Loan term: 3 to 7 years
- 3+ days to get funds
- Origination fee: None
Earnest is a great option for an unsecured personal loan, provided you're not looking to consolidate debt. Earnest is geared towards financially savvy borrowers with good to excellent credit, meaning the lender looks for borrowers with little to no debt, good credit history and no recent bankruptcies or accounts in collection. Because of this, we do not recommend Earnest for debt consolidation, but if you are looking to make a big purchase, invest in your future or pay for other large expenses, Earnest is an excellent choice. You can apply for up to $50,000, and rates are between 5.49% and 18.24%. Terms range from one to three years, and there are no origination fees, late fees or prepayment penalties.
One downside to Earnest is that you cannot check your rate online. If you want to get a rate from Earnest, you will need to complete an application and consent to a hard credit pull, which can affect your credit score. Therefore, we only recommend applying to Earnest if you meet the lender's eligibility guidelines. Earnest is available in all states except Alabama, Delaware, Kentucky, Mississippi, Nevada and Rhode Island.
Best for: Financially responsible, creditworthy borrowers who need funds for a major purchase or expense.
- Loan amount: $5,000 - $75,000
- Loan term: 3 to 5 years
- 1+ days to get funds
- Origination fee: None

How We Picked the Best Unsecured Personal Loans
We looked at over 50 different lenders to find the best unsecured personal loans. In our research, we considered the following factors:
- Competitive APRs: In many states, the maximum APR allowed on a personal loan is 36%. Many questionable payday and alternative installment loans will charge much higher APRs (sometimes as high as 1,000%). We only looked at lenders that charged 36% or less.
- Lender credibility: Credibility is important when getting a loan, so we looked at each lender's reputation based on Better Business Bureau (BBB) ratings, third party reviews, user reviews and the company's website.
- Range of loan amounts and terms: Lenders should offer a variety of loan amounts and repayment terms to cater to a variety of borrowers. We considered lenders that offered $25,000 or more and at least several maturity options.
- Fair fees: Fair fees means no origination fee over 6%, no late fees over $25 or 5% monthly past due or prepayment penalties. We did not include lenders who charged more than this.
- Transparent rate and fee disclosure: Any reliable lender will present rates and fees upfront, so borrowers can understand the total cost of the loan before accepting.
- Geographic reach: In general, we only considered lenders that were available in many states, with most being available in at least 35 to 40 states across the U.S. A lender may offer great rates and terms, but if it's only available in one state, we cannot recommend it for a broad audience.

"How safe are mutual funds?" asked a reader who says he has "a fair amount of money" invested with a large, well-regarded no-load fund family.
"What happens if a company 'folds'? Can that happen? Are funds which invest in government securities completely safe?"
"Help me to comfort my wife," another reader pleads. "[She] feels that because there are so many frauds and failures in the business world . . . the only safe place is in FDIC [Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.] accounts."
The concerns are understandable.
They're understandable because investing in a mutual fund, run miles away by people you'll probably never meet, is more complicated and takes more faith than, say, putting money into an FDIC-insured bank whose staff knows you.

Legs of steel needed for the 6,800km Iron Curtain trail
23.07.2014: Artikel by David Charter, published in THE TIMES on the 23rd of July 2014
The "death zone" that marked the route of the Iron Curtain has been converted into a 6,800km cycle trail in a remarkable demonstration of how former European foes have — almost — forgotten their divisions.
Just 25 years after the barbed wire and landmines began to be removed along the east-west divide, one man's dream of a border-free green zone is almost complete.
Michael Cramer, a German Green MEP for Berlin, has just published his four-part guide to the route after a decade-long campaign to cajole the EU and 20 countries to pave and sign it.
The only blip along the way serves as a reminder of present-day European tensions — a visa is needed to pass through the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad, sandwiched between Poland and Lithuania.
The biggest cycling challenge comes on the first stage along the sparsely populated Norwegian and Finnish borders with Russia where real stamina is needed for the long stretches between accommodation possibilities.
"The Iron Curtain stretched almost 7,000km through Europe from the Barents Sea to the Black Sea and divided the continent into east and west," said Mr Cramer, who was inspired to push for the trail after he helped to create a 160km pathway in his home city along the route of the Berlin Wall.
"Today there is hardly anything left to see of the former death strip, the remnants are no longer a dividing line," he said.
Mr Cramer, who secured €1.2 million from the EU to fund his trail, was also instrumental in the project to create the German Green Belt, the conversion of the 1,400km former border between East and West Germany into a nature reserve and cycle path. This is now an environmental haven running the length of the reunified country.
Among the historical highlights of the Iron Curtain trail are the Cold War watchtowers that still face each other near the medieval German village of Geisa in Thuringia on the border with the German state of Hesse.
"This was Point Alpha, it was the westernmost point of the Warsaw Pact and easternmost point of Nato territory, the armies of the two blocs came face to face at a distance of only 200 metres," said Mr Cramer.
Johannes Hahn, the EU's regional affairs commissioner, defended the European funding at the launch of the trail in Vienna. "This project will help people to overcome mental barriers, which always takes longer than tearing down a real iron curtain," he said.

Before you revealed this I was planning to create two liferay plugins -- one with the "LiferayDatabase" dependency and one without -- and then count on the user that has manually created the db pool to pick the one without the dependency. But IIUC I can use the technique you describe above to create a single liferay plugin with the dependency and as long as the manually created db pool is named correctly the plugin installer will do the right thing. Neat. > The other option is that a plugin can "obsolete" other modules or > plugins. So the Liferay can obsolete the welcome app, meaning the > welcome app will be uninstalled when the Liferay plugin is installed. > It's kind of heavy-handed, but probably better than having it install > and immediately fail due to the context root conflict. Brian Chan sent a note earlier that says I can in fact change liferay's context root by adjusting some XML and a properties file. I'll look into that but it's nice to have this feature you describe in my back pocket. > As far as populating the database, you can provide a GBean that runs > whenever a flag like "initialized" is false.

Since I'm using derby I believe that the DirectoryInitializationGBean Matt pointed out should do the job. But longer term I agree that a more specialized GBean like you describe is the right way to go. I'll create a JIRA for a reusable version of the specialized GBean and maybe this item can make it into 1.2. Thanks, Paul

Over at Gigwise, they've found a Twittter user who posted a video of the Springsteen song Racing In The Street (from the Darkness On The Edge of Town) being played on vinyl.
Who would have guessed it: speed up a Bruce Springsteen recording and voilà, you get Stevie Nicks? Good work Bit Riffman (@chuchugoogoo)
Have a listen here. It's not far off from Stevie, is it?

Your cart is empty.:( Let's fix that!Close
Each spring in the preschool I direct we devote a week to teaching about the differences between boys and girls, and where babies come from. The primary focus with our preschoolers is on the physiological differences between the genders. It is, of course, the psychological, emotional and sociological differences that are more subtle and controversial. My first years of teaching were spent at a preschool on the Harvard campus in the mid-70's. This was a time when feminism and the origins of gender differences and roles were hotly debated, perhaps nowhere more so than around Cambridge, Massachusetts. To give some perspective to the political climate, the building which housed the preschool had been "liberated" from the Harvard Law School a few years earlier by a group of angry Harvard Law School students who didn't think the Law School was doing enough to support the women students with child care and other services.
Given this backdrop, the preschool community was highly focused on the origins of gender roles and differences. As teachers we tried hard to monitor our own gender biases and preconceptions. Boys and girls were encouraged whenever possible to play with nontraditional toys. Somehow, despite all of our best efforts, the boys still seemed to prefer trucks and shooting games, and the girls dolls, the dress-up corner and playing house.
It seems today the cultural and social pendulum has swung in completely the opposite direction. There's near agreement that the behavioral differences exhibited by girls and boys is more determined by biology and hormones than culture or modeling. My own observations certainly support this view. Of course, there are always the exceptions, and these children especially deserve to be supported and respected. But clearly at the preschool level, most boys and girls tend to exhibit the behaviors typical of their own gender.
So here are a few observations (none meant to be overly serious!) gleaned from over thirty years of working with young children:
Socially, girls tend to be very focused on who they are with. Boys, on the other hand, seem less interested in who they are playing with and more interested in what they're doing together.
Girls form very intense and often exclusive friendships. Boys tend to roam in (sometimes wild) packs. Girls for some reason usually prefer to go to the bathroom accompanied by a friend. When boys find themselves together in the bathroom they tend to engage in long distance competition!
Girls tend to change the invitation list for their next birthday party with each slight or offense, and at least four or five times a day. Boys, when they think about parties at all, tend to be more concerned with the flavor and quantity of the cake and ice cream.
Boys build block structures that are as high as possible, and always higher than everybody else's. Girls tend to construct low lying expansive villages, where there'll be ample room for everyone.
Many girls remember every way in which they've ever been offended, especially emotionally. Boys more typically lash out when provoked, and then are done with it.
Boys point and shoot with anything they get their hands on. Girls are not only surprised but terribly shocked by such projectile demonstrations. Girls on the other hand verbally tease and provoke the boys in a kind of early ritual, and then bitterly complain that "the boys are bothering us!"
Ah well. Vive la difference!

This website defines a new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has forged a populace unable to discern
from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race. Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the Way of Life - a rational religion based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The Truth of the Way of Life are spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their religious beliefs in America is considered a hate crime."
This web site in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already controls the world central banking system, mass media worldwide, the global industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of global ecosystems. Civilization is based on cooperation. Cooperation does not occur at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the populace in general through mass media by pressing emotional buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior mass media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.

From the IFOA Blog
Five Questions with… Jowita Bydlowska
Share this article via Facebook or Twitter for your chance to win two tickets to see Jowita on November 3! Don't forget to tag @IFOA or use #IFOA2013. Good luck!
IFOA: Drunk Mom has proven to be controversial. Were you prepared for some of the backlash that followed its publication? What have you learned from being under such intense media—and moral—scrutiny?
Jowita Bydlowska: I was mostly prepared for the backlash. My agent (Chris Bucci) asked me a number of times if I knew what I was potentially getting myself into with this book and the publisher (Doubleday) was very sensitive around this issue as well. I believe in this book. The media and moral scrutiny was sometimes hard to deal with, but if I learned one thing—or rather, if one belief has been strengthened—it is that there are as many supporters as there are critics and, ultimately, this is what makes this business (of being an artist and exposing your art to the world) so interesting.
IFOA: The book was written in apology to your son. How do you feel about him reading your memoir in the future?
Bydlowska: I hope he has a lot of questions and I hope I'll be able to answer them.
IFOA: Your book feels very rooted in Toronto—both in its streets and its social landscape. Is this city important to your writing?
Bydlowska: I came here in August, 10 years ago, to go to school. In September, I volunteered for IFOA (I was a caterer) and I remember being at the top of Westin Harbour Toronto where the author schmoozing thing was held, and looking at the city all spread out in front of me, and thinking how much I loved being here already and how I would like to live here for good. And write here. The city is important to my writing in that way, in that I know this is home.
IFOA: What do you read for pleasure?
Bydlowska: Literary fiction, thrillers and, occasionally, non-fiction (my Doubleday editor, Tim Rostron, recommends many fantastic works to me). I tend to read all the works of authors that I feel most drawn to (recently, I went through all the Elena Ferrante works). I also read a lot of children's books.
IFOA: If you could meet any author, living or dead, who would it be?
Bydlowska: Stanislaw Ignacy Witkewicz ("Witkacy") who is dead and who I think would be a riot (alive; not as a corpse).
Jowita Bydlowska will discuss writing about addiction with author Ann Dowsett Johnston on November 3.

Up-Scaling The Wedding Entrée
What you see above, I have never seen in my 15+ years of filming and photographing weddings. Its a Kansas City Pork Chop with Jack Daniel's Sauce with braised Red Cabbage and Sweet Potato Hash. It was delicious, so delicious in fact, if I were vegan I would skip the double thick pork chop and just eat a whole plate of the braised red cabbage and sweet potato hash. Now I know that all men hate weddings unless there is an open bar and good food. This will be a game-changer if they know ahead of time what they are in store for.
Often we get basic dishes with attractive names like "Chilean Sea Bass" (which is not Chilean or bass, but basically a bottom feeding fish like monkfish from the other side of the continent). Or, the "Harvest Chicken" which is a very small chicken or cornish game hen with stuffing, and of course, the prime rib with mashed potatoes. These are not bad entrees, in fact often they are good, but its the same old menu wedding after wedding.
This entree puts a new spin on it. Pork chops? Sure, why not? Even in New York, a Kansas City pork chop can fly, especially if its got Jack Daniel's reduction sauce spread over it… who wouldn't? Here in New York we can have a strip steak any day.
I'd like to see more of this. We know that every wedding menu must have at least 3 choices, beef, fish or vegetarian. Knowing that, why wouldn't the catering halls mix it up a bit and offer different fare that won't really cost more than the traditional items, in fact, it might cost less. Its just a thought that you can just change very basic ingredients like the sauce and the sides and break from the normal ho-hum entrees and deliver something, if not anything else, is worth someone remembering.

Today Thomas A. Hauck, author of the book Pistonhead, is joining us for an interview!
Beth: Hi! Welcome to Beth's Book Review Blog! It's great to have you here today! Thank you for taking the time to join us and answer some questions.
Congratulations on your book, Pistonhead, being published! Can you tell us a little bit about it?
Tom: Pistonhead is about success and how you define it. The protagonist, Charlie Sinclair, thinks he knows how to measure success. Various people with whom he interacts also think they know how to measure success. The novel spans two weeks, and during this period Charlie faces life-altering challenges and he changes his values.
Beth: How much of the novel is based on your actual experiences?
Tom: About half of the scenes are based on actual events. From 1976 to 1988 I was a guitar player in two Boston rock bands, and for about a year I worked on the assembly line at Lotus Software in Somerville, Massachusetts. At Lotus I was a temp and I worked alongside clients from Mass Rehab. But several characters and many scenes are totally fictional. I won't say which ones, other than to attest that both singers with whom I had the pleasure to work were totally professional and were never late for a show.
Beth: What is the significance of the title?
Tom: Pistonhead is the name of Charlie's rock band. In the course of the book it also becomes a nickname for Charlie himself, given to him by Emmanuel, a worker at Evergreen. As a nickname, it means "exceedingly stubborn."
Beth: What is the main message you want readers to take away from the book?
Tom: The creative process isn't always what you think it is. Charlie sees the connection between working on an assembly line and writing songs for the band. In contrast, Rip is a romantic who fails to see the connection; he thinks art just springs fully-formed out of your head. And, you need to trust your inner voice and remember that desire is the source of unhappiness. With the help of a friend Charlie sheds desires and preconceptions, and his path becomes clear.
Beth: If your book was made into a movie, who would you most like to have play your main character, Charlie?
Tom: I have no idea. At this point in time I would rather the reader imagine Charlie.
Beth: Do you have any special writing routines? Do you always write in the same place at the same time of day?
Tom: Yes, I have a home office and a laptop. I have no special writing routine. I can email my files anywhere. I can pick up a writing project and work on it anytime I have ten minutes to spare.
Beth: I'm always curious about what other people are reading. What are you reading now?
Tom: I have most recently read Lord of the Flies by William Golding, Terrorist by John Updike, Cannery Row by John Steinbeck, and Resurrection by Tolstoy. I also re-read any of Ian Fleming's James Bond novels whenever possible.
Beth: And finally, do you have a favorite book of all time?
Tom: If I had to choose one book to take to a desert island, it would be the Bible. Second choice would be Casino Royale by Ian Fleming. Third choice would be whatever book I'm currently writing. If I'm going to be on a desert island, I might as well get some work done!
About Tom:
A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Thomas A. Hauck earned his B.A. in History of Art at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. After college, Tom embarked on a fifteen-year career as a rock musician and songwriter, playing guitar with Boston-based bands including the Atlantics and Ball and Pivot. He later worked in the Boston area as an actor, appearing on stage and in numerous films and television programs.
Tom left the entertainment business in the early 1990s and embarked upon a successful career in non-profit administration and development. He earned his M.B.A. at Endicott College in 2004. After serving with leading North Shore cultural non-profits, Tom founded Thomas Hauck Communications Services in 2006. Tom is a professional freelance writer and the editor of Renaissance Magazine. He lives in Historic Gloucester, Massachusetts with his wife Kim Smith (the author of Oh Garden of Fresh Possibilities! Notes from a Gloucester Garden), and their two children.
Thank you so much to Tom for joining us today! If you'd like to pick up a copy of his book Pistonhead, click the cover image below.

When I first heard of this I didn't think it would really work to be honest. The other night I tried my Cleanse off Mitt for the first time. The idea of not using cleanser to remove make up wasn't one I was eager to try out. Normally I cleanse my face with my cleanser of choice (currently using Shu Uemera cleansing oil) and then clean the rest away with cotton wool pads.
I tend to go through a lot of them. I have used muslin cloths in the past but when they get stained some make up just won't wash out! I've also used (and still use from time to time) face cloths but these stain too and some make up stains are still quite visible on them.
The mitt itself has a soft texture and it fits perfectly over my hand and is a baby blue colour. It has microfibres that shift the make up from your face. For me when using it, it felt like I was "buffing" the make up off.
The idea of this mitt is that you can remove a full face of make up with just water. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Well if it works, it will be great for travel!
Well how did I get on?
In the below photo's I had worn a full face of make up. The first photo show's half my face cleaned and the second photo my face with a full clean face.
What I love about the mitt is that you can right under the eyes. The material isn't too thick so you can easily remove make up without applying too much pressure. Personally what I love about cleansers is that they "break down" the make up so you don't have to rub too hard on the skin. This mitt removed the make up, and I didn't feel I was too rough on my skin, also I didn't feel the need to cleanse my face again. If I was wearing heavier make up maybe I can cleanse again after the make up as been removed. The mitt cleans the heavy duty stuff off your face.
If you are one for cleansing wipes maybe think of an alternative? We all know wipes aren't good for your skin, so why don't you for the new year be a bit kinder to your skin? It will suit all skin types, as you are just using water and no chemicals. The best part is (for me), it's reusable! I don't be going through cotton pads as quickly anymore.
Oh and cleaning it? Right after use I used a bar soap from Lush (Sea Vegetable - link) and it came up clean - just like new.
Cleanse off Mitt are an Irish company, and are releasing the mitt in Janurary 2014.
For more information you can visit cleanseoffmitt.com and sign up for more information.
Thanks for stopping by :)

1 Koffer Kunst is glad to announce its participation to The OtherScreen, with the video Tokyo Kids (2012/2013) by Ulrike Möschel.
|Ulrike Möschel, still from the video Tokyo Kids (2012/2013), 1' 22''

From 5th to 8th November 2015, on occasion of The Others Art Fair, 1 Koffer Kunst will present for the first time in Italy the video Tokyo Kids (2012/2013) by Ulrike Möschel, that will be projected in the section The OtherScreen.
In the short video (1:22 min.) two kids are playing fighting in a street of Tokyo. Like little samurai, protected by cardboard boxes as shells, they strike and push each other without mercy until one of them falls down. Only at that point they both come out from their boxes and regain the typical sweetness and fragility of kids. The film, in all its simplicity, combines disarming badness and tenderness. The artist does not reveal whether the two little protagonists are performing or have been taken by chance by her video-camera.
Ulrike Möschel, born in Münster (Germany) in 1972, lives and works in Düsseldorf. Further info can be found on her website.

The Garden Suburb Theatre brings to life the stage version of the well-loved TV comedy, 'Allo 'Allo.
René Artois is running a café in occupied France. As well as trying to keep his wife Edith happy and in the dark about his dalliances with his waitresses, René also has to deal on a daily basis with the Nazis, the Gestapo and the local Resistance!
Matters are complicated by the fact that René and Edith are trying to keep for themselves a priceless portrait stolen by the Nazis, which is hidden in a sausage in the cellar of their café. They are also hiding two British Airmen, who the Resistance are trying to repatriate. Along the way they have to contend with a wireless disguised as a cockatoo and the news that the Fuhrer is to visit the town which sparks a rash of Hitler look-alikes! René will need all his wit to save his café and his life !
